from the depths of dreams

Kristen, 22. Living in the South Loop in Chicago. Currently going to school to study creative non-fiction writing. This blog is a mix of a lot of my own personal writing/rants, music I enjoy, & pictures I find that I like. I like to go out and have a good time, but I think I've come to realize I'm a homebody that likes taking it easy with my favorite people.

“

Westerners are fond of the saying ‘Life isn’t fair.’ Then, they end in snide triumphant: ‘So get used to it!’

What a cruel, sadistic notion to revel in! What a terrible, patriarchal response to a child’s budding sense of ethics. Announce to an Iroquois, ‘Life isn’t fair,’ and her response will be: ‘Then make it fair!’ This is the matriarchal approach to learning.

” –

Barbara Alice Mann, Iroquois woman (via cultureofresistance)

How many fucking times did I/we hear this as a child?

    I disagree that this is patriarchal vs. matriarchal, though. I think this is entitled jackass approach vs. non-lazy...
